Pound cake is best stored in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain its texture and prevent it from drying out. It will generally stay fresh for 2-3 days this way. For longer storage, wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap and then foil, or place it in a freezer bag, and freeze for up to 2-3 months. Thaw completely at room temperature before serving.
